" The album was also recorded in Bow Lane but this time Stan Erraught produced. Stan played in The Stars of Heaven and The Sewing Room and now plays with The Great Western Squares. He has produced and played with Wormhole.
The album was written in the year up to the recording of it. Eighteen songs were recorded and the twelve which fitted together best made up the album. Hopefully the other six songs will be released at some stage.
The album was recorded in two weeks and mixed in one. Sunday Miscellany was the title of one of the songs left off the album and it seemed to fit the mood of the LP. It's also the title of a Sunday morning radio programme on RTE Radio One, an unconventional review of the week.
The cover shot is a picture of the Liffey from Capel Street bridge. The back shows the Jubilee Allstars in their practice room."

" A compilation of the three EPs we recorded for Lakota plus the inspired video for Keep on Chewing by Darragh McCarthy.
The title comes from the name of the street that our grotty practice room is on, but the cover photograph is a different lane taken by Donal Murphy in mean and moody style This cynical repackaging of our old recordings is the last of our releases on Lakota. "

The second studio album produced by Thom Monahan of Pernice Brothers and Lilys fame. Recorded in ramshackle style in various locations around Dublin, complete with rocking piano and harmonica courtesy of John Hegarty and Brian Rice.
The front cover is a masterful painting of a number of Dublin shop and Pub fronts pieced together onto one ficticious street by Colm Greene, the painting was as long in the making as the album. Hopefully the music lives up to the promise of the cover!! The band portrait on the back of the sleeve was taken by Lafayette in Dublin, our attempt at homage to Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express sleeve.

"Last Night, as I was
Wandering, the second solo album from former Jubilee Allstar Barry
McCormack, is a collection of strange ballads and comic story-songs
inspired by the Irish song tradition. It’s a picaresque journey through
a murky, noir Dublin that features characters from the town’s past who
encounter a disparate group of narrators—verbose drunks, repentant
gamblers and recalcitrant office-workers. The album’s title is plundered
from a sean-nos song, a nod to Barry’s desire for these songs, though
imbued with a strong sense of place, to be timeless stories dealing with
the vagaries of humanity rather than a fleeting comment on contemporary
Dublin.
The album was recorded on Capel Street using instrumentation more
familiar to ballad records of the sixties than contemporary Irish folk
records. Last Night, as I was Wandering is a raw, untreated record that
is, perhaps, something of an anomaly these days, when contemporary music
is awash with anodyne acoustic acts parading as authentic and
challenging.
Barry says: ‘The last record I made—We Drank Our Tears—was largely
concerned with themes of loss and grief, where the characters were
trying to find some kind of light at the end of the tunnel. I wanted to
make a record that retained an element of darkness but was lighter and
more comic in tone. I became fascinated by the ribald world conjured up
in songs sung by The Dubliners like "Monto" or "The Mero" and this
record is an attempt to capture the spirit of these songs and to use it
to portray a world more familiar to me.’ " |
